Hello again! It has been 18 days since I last blogged about my NaMoPaiMo (National Model Painting Month) piece, and for good reason. I have spent the last two weeks trying to get over a nasty upper respiratory infection. Sadly, it persists, but I am much better today, and ready to blog again. I have accomplished very little during the past sixteen days, but I did complete two tasks of note. First, using prismacolor pencils, I applied a somewhat even layer of dark grey fleabites to my piece. Those familiar with the horse color termed "flea-bitten grey" will know that the color that I'm painti ..read more

What is that? National Model Painting Month was conceived by Jennifer Bray Buxton of the Braymere Blogspot fame. Today, Febrauary 1, 2017, marks day one of NaMoPaiMo. While I have been whittling down my outstanding  commissions, I have realized that what I really need is a boost. A shot in the arm. A way to get myself back in the habit of truly thinking about painting and just getting it done ..read more

 Hello Friends!  It has been a while, over five years since my last blog post, to be exact! Life happens, but I'm now back to painting and I'm hoping to get back to regular blogging about my work too!  Recent years have brought many changes for me. Both of my boys are grown up and in college. I'm so proud of them! I'm offering individual and couples counseling at my day job as a licensed social worker while also helping others to follow their artistic dreams through my model horse painting workshops.  Today I'm bringing you a favorite of mine. It would have been perfect if ..read more
